Windows Fail

And Then The Windows Failed - And Then (After Emily Dickinson) 12/20

And then the Windows failed            – and then

oceans of bees – across the threshold come –

The eyes a whirled, reaching compress – cold –

A cascade of Rooms – A futile Tapestry

The sudden mind – static – thousand-eyed glasses

swirl – marble – A tree of elongated hands –

There – is the Lock-box Chain – and

a slam-break – weeping Skin, demanding more –

A Suit of man – shattered un-holding arms –

Interior child, fitting in a Storm – and then

the cool Palm of Rest – and then

the Windows failed – and then – buzzing then –
